Actually, after seeing patch 11, I think this event is too narrow.  You
are only reporting if the guest agent on org.qemu.guest_agent.0 changes
state.  But a user can provide more than one channel, and the
VSERPORT_CHANGE event works for every channel.  I think we need to
broaden the definition of the event to allow the event on EVERY virtio
channel, and include the name of _which_ channel had the event, so that
someone using any other channel can also tell if their custom code in
the guest is properly connecting to that channel.

Thus, I think this signature needs an additional const char *channel
name, which provides the name of which agent channel is changing.

Similarly, you'll need a remote_nonnull_string as the channel name as
part of this RPC call.
